Hereditary for sure. The main reason is each character in Hereditary is empathetic, and we all can relate to them. When it comes to Midsommar, Florence Pugh's character was the only one I felt that wasn't misused. Alot of the 'friend' characters were tropey but i love certain aspects of the film

That scene, the scene where she get's possessed in the middle of crying, and the dinner scene are just so good, so scary, so anxiety-inducing. Amazing.

The best thing about Hereditary is people are rarely interested in the paranormal scenes of this movie. All they talk about are the charachters. The emotions. And the reason why horror is quite an overlooked genre is that it very rarely is emotionally captivating and Hereditary is a very few of the ones which are emotionally captivating. The mental destruction of the watcher at the end of the movie is less about what they saw and more about what they felt. Hence this movie really deserves the appreciation.

@Bootmahoy88 6 ай бұрын

I think of Hereditary, the film, in terms of the romance of soul to self and how it fractures, then comes together again, then falls apart again at her feet, only to be reassembled hastily so she can love an image of that soul she thought she knew or to love a persona in the guise of her son that shattered the self into a billion pieces, the romance of Travis Bickle, e.g., and his soul reflected by the prostitute, how he's longing for his self to emerge or to say something or respond to something he said, and all he gets is silence. The woman in Hereditary is being rejected more and more by the self of her psyche. She becomes more and more frantic by this dissolution. She longs to be loved by the self only to be cursed and rejected by this very self. It's a profound Jungian romance for me. She loses her self in the end, cutting off the head to spite the mind.

@ckotcher1 3 жыл бұрын

This director really knows how to encapsulate grief. Real life grief and real life dread. Not “movie” grief. That’s why this and Midsommer are so damn terrifying. They are REAL And his use of brightness and daytime instead of darkness (especially in Midsommer) make it even more terrifying. There’s no where to hide. No dark corners.

I think not only grief, just emotions in general. In Midsommar the dependence of her on her boyfriend, he being sick of her, his friends being assholes, it's all very real. It makes you feel what they feel. In Hereditary the same, you can connect with the feelings of all three main characters after the death of the sister. It's just perfect.

A few thoughts: 1) by avoiding confrontation and not filling the film with action, it mirrors real life post tragedy. Life keeps moving, albeit very sluggishly. Life doesn’t become a plot in itself. 2) by not creating tension between Peter and Steve, it really strengthens the film because the “everyone is at odds” angle doesn’t really reflect real relationship dynamics. It also really sets Steve as an excellent foil for Annie

Her wife has violent tendencies towards her son by wishing to kill him, she literally destroys her work, she fixates on the death scene of her daughter while also depicting her son headless, she just appears out of nowhere with hundreds of pictures of her son, she leaves mysteriously and now her mothers grave has been exhumed???

@@Arbiter710 I actually recommend watching it a second time, because in many ways the main character changes upon that second viewing. When you give it a first pass, you're watching it from the perspective of Annie and Peter, the dolls in the doll house. But when you give it a second go, because you know the grand master plan that's being set in motion, you really end up watching it from the perspective of King Paimon. Instead of watching these people try to solve this terrifying cosmic mystery, you watch this demon manipulate his pawns into fulfilling their greater purpose. It's not necessarily a different movie, but it's a way more layered one and definitely worth the time and effort.

Ari Aster does a great job at presenting traumatic grief in its rawest, realest form. Both Annie and Peter's reactions to Charlie's death felt like such a punch in the gut. It's so cruel in its realness - almost demented even. I felt similar dread in Midsommar during the scene where we learn that the main character's mentally ill sister killed herself and took both their parents with her. Then we see and hear the main character's wailing grief (much like Annie) as her uncaring boyfriend attempts to console her. Its all just so damn cruel. It's true horror.

For me, the thing that makes this movie so terrifying and so haunting is that it is an unadulterated look into the deep seeded grief that overcomes a family. The raw emotions that you aren't allowed to look away from, the fear Peter feels when losing his mother to her grief, the way the family becomes strangers to each other. It is terrifying because it's so real. This movie is about human emotion, one of the scariest things anyone can experience. We, the audience, experience their trauma in real time and there is no escape from it until the movie is over.

I showed Hereditary to my family because we were watching scary movies near Halloween. It horrified them, my dad immediately said I shouldn't pick any more scary movies for the rest of the month (I later showed them the Wailing though) and he said it was definitely the scariest film he had ever seen. My sister was less terrified, but she was still freaked out by the film. My mom said later that she looks at the wall behind her when she enters a room now and about a week after watching it, she said it surpassed The Ring as the scariest film she had ever seen. So the moral of the story is....show this movie to your family, its fun!

Can I just say. In this movie, Charlie is stereotyped as being on the autism spectrum. And I feel like the directors did this for a reason. Because a lot of other media takes the stereotypical actions of people on the spectrum and makes them into "oooooh they are all spooky and evil and possessed!" And that's why a lot of people saw Charlie framed as the "main character"/"Main antagonist" But when it switches to the dynamic of the brother and mother being the two main characters. Beautiful. It makes re-watching the movie so much better. On watch one, in some scenes, because you are focused on Charlie, the brother falls to the background. But on watch 2, knowing the brother is the main character, it's flipped! Now Charlie almost seems to be in the background more often. Super awesome.

Well... I don't think people framed Charlie as the main character because she was stereotyped as weird, but because the directors did it, she is literally the main face on almost every cover of the movie, even the trailer shows every other character screaming, dying, or suffering except for Charlie, so people would obviously assume she is the main source of evil in the movie. So i feel like the directors intentionally missdirected people into believing the wrong thing, like tricking them through false advertising.

As stupid as this sounds, one of the most prominent memories I have of this movie is when Annie is confronted by Joan she first states, "My daughter was recently killed." Or "my daughter was recently murdered" before correcting herself. It's just such an unbelievable tell to me on the mental situation of the home. Annie feels like Peter actively killed Charlie. She is at home with her child killer. That is the mindset from the start, set in stone. Also this entire film just feels like some abstract Bosch piece of art. The usage of music cannot be underestimated. Some of the soundtrack uses intentional binaural tones that instinctively set dread. Mix that with moments where there's just no music at all. It sows unsettling atmosphere.

What's so effective with Hereditary is how it's utilization of the REAL, primal fears we humans have is so well done in the screenplay, for example the sense of denial over having done something severely bad (the scene where his sister gets beheaded), I mean what would YOU do in that matter? The familiarity and the "humanness" of it is what makes it scary, together with the nauseating sensation of tension and the forwardness of the supernatural, where as you said, they leave everything naked to present their truth, and that leaves many of the audience to leave in a jittery state. Props to the director man.

The film touches something very primal that just about anyone can relate to on some level, and that can scare the bejesus out of you! I think of the film in terms of the romance of soul to self and how it fractures, then comes together again, then falls apart again at her feet, only to be reassembled hastily so she can love an image of that soul she thought she knew or to love a persona in the guise of her son that shattered the self into a billion pieces, the romance of Travis Bickle, e.g., and his soul reflected by the prostitute, how he's longing for his self to emerge or to say something or respond to something he said, and all he gets is silence. The woman in Hereditary is being rejected more and more by the self of her psyche. She becomes more and more frantic by this dissolution. She longs to be loved by the self only to be cursed and rejected by this very self. It's a profound Jungian romance for me. She loses her self in the end, cutting off the head to spite the mind.

I love the horror genre (and all of its sub-genres, popular and not) so I hope that people who anticipate the mainstream Hollywood formula don’t ruin horror movies for others. Hereditary is one of my favorite movies ever, but we have had horror movies like Hereditary in every decade of film, and horror generally gets a bad rap because the jumpscare movies get more mainstream attention but they are far from the only kind of horror movies out there, in modern times and in the long history of horror. I think horror fans need to be on the defense because whenever a great horror movie comes out and gets attention, it’s immediately treated like an anomaly that outclasses everything else, or it’s treated as something that isn’t “quite” horror just because it doesn’t fit the really popular stuff - the term “elevated horror” makes me want to crack my tablet in half.

I wanted to hate Hereditary, and instead it just fucked me up so bad it took literal weeks to process. Then, suddenly, I realized it was absolutely the most transformative piece of art I've ever witnessed save maybe Blood Meridian by McCarthy. And Midsommar was no different. His movies are Catharsis.

I never realized how deeply rooted, the sheer terror of this movie, stayed with me, until I got a timer for a socket in my room, it turned on in the night for my humidifier, as intended, and it made a click sound, like the tongue click. I nearly shat myself. Didn't sleep that night. Got rid of the timer.

hereditary is my favorite movie of all time. it’s filmed beautifully. the sheer emotion and dread going on really gets to you. the scene where the girl died was so surreal to watch for the first time. the reaction of the brother was honestly heartbreaking. there really is no other film that could break me as much as this one did. absolutely incredible!

I never really thought about it when it came to the doll houses. Now seeing this, the family was being controlled unknowingly the whole time, so unsettling.

Loving your insight. The music in the final scene is stunning and the use of a doll house view, in the last moments is just like those nativity models you see at Christmas. The use of the doll house effect throughout give me a feeling of something much bigger being in control of their lives.

A lot of Ari:s intentions flew by unnoticed. I thought they had a nice home, didn't at all notice it was supposed to grow weird gradually. I also thought the father seemed like a very reasonable character, didn't consider he was internalizing all that much.

The scene when the mom is grieving for Charlie is the realest reaction I have ever seen in a movie before.

I just watched hereditary for the first time last night and this is pretty much exactly the type of video I was hoping to find talking about it. Great stuff!

Thank you for this amazing video and analysis. It hit me like a truck. I’ve lost so many friends and even just friends of friends of friends over the years and seeing the people close to them suffer, looking for someone or something to blame, searching for them in their clothes and finding nothing…it has all been very hard. Guilt is a tough process but we must face it. And hereditary really spelled that out for me. Amazing analysis, thank you so much.

Exceptional recap, the juxtaposition of script vs movie was beautifully fluid. Enjoyed this a lot! Now I want to rewatched the film.

In the scene after the funeral, where Peter is behind the stained glass, could that be a subtle nod by Ari Aster to the Biblical verse “For now we see through a glass darkly...”? Peter is looking at the events from behind colored glass and the implication of this famous phrase is that what you see now is obscured but the whole truth will eventually be revealed - as it was by the end of the film. Does this make sense or am I putting wayyyyy too much thought into this?

I dig this theory

@skullcrushers10 3 жыл бұрын

That sounds very plausible to me! It’s funny, I came to this video with that specific scene in mind (even though I watched hereditary maybe a year ago), and thought about him behind the glass and how I bet that meant something bigger than just a simple “he’s being distant” that I wasn’t understanding. So I’m glad I found your comment

Hereditary is an unsettling film. I watched it the first time without knowing anything about it and... wow! My wife, who was watching it with me, said afterwards that during the film I didn’t say one single word, which is pretty unusual for me 😂 But, seriously, Hereditary is really a very fine psychological horror made it incredibly good buy the performances of the actors.

It’s hard to describe how in love with this film I am. the acting was fantastic / the ominous sensation is thrilling but so so unnerving. and this video was so informative. thank you!
